Excitement in Texas.

Great excitement has been caus- ed in the vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the remarkable recovery of Mr. J, Corley, who was so helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise his head; every body sad he was dying of Consumption. A trial bottle of Dr, Kings New Discovery was sent him. Finding relief, he bought a larg bottle and box of Dr, Kings New Life Pills; by the time he had taken two boxes of Pills and two bottles of the Dis covery, he was well and had gain ed in flesh thir'y-six pounds.

Senator Stanford denies

Senator Stanford denies the
report that he intends resigning his
seat in Congress. The Senator APP
preciates that he holds his seat
both as the Representative OF the
State and of the Republican party
in California. Ii his duty to the
State does not require him to retain
his position, his duty to his party
certainly does. The Legislature of
the State is Democratic. There is
no present likelihood that it will be
called together during its term, but
such step may become necessary.
In such an event, Governor Water
mans appointee would be displaced
by a Democrat, and the control OF
the Senate would pass to the Demo
Gratis. Senator Stanford finds his
position irksome, and the slow
course of legislation is distasteful to
q man whose word is law to a great
corporation. The party will appre-
ciate Senator Stanford's fidelity to
its interests. Post.

A Living mastodon.

In conversation with d. HI. Sum-
mers, formerly of Denver, COL, who
came out this Fall with the first
party of miners from FortyMile
creek, we learned that the existence
of living mastodons near the head
waters of White river was not the
mere fabrications of the Northern
furriers, but THAT the Stick Indians
had positively told him that not
later than five years ago such an
animal had been seen by them.
One of the Indians said that while
hunting one day in that unknown
section he came across an i'm
mense track, sunk to depth of
several inches i'm the moss, and
from the description as the In
dian marked it out on the sand.
it must have resembled an ele-
plants track, and was larger
around than a barrel. Upon strik-
ing it the Indian followed up the
curious trail, which to all appear
ance. was very fresh, and tracking
from one immense stride to another
for distance of some miles, he
came in full view OF his game. And
what game The hunter gave one.
look then turned and fled as though
pursued by the evil one. These In
dams as a class are tho bravest of
hunters, and with no other weapon
than the spear, will attack and slay
the st. Elias grizzly. But the i'm
mense proportions of this new kind
of game both startled and filed the
hunter, brave as he was, with great
fear, and he imagined his only
safety in swift and immediate flight.
He described it as being larger than
Harper's (the post trader) store, with
great shining yellow tusks, and
mouth large enough to swallow him
at single gulp. He said the ami
NAL was undoubtedly the same as
were the huge bones scattered over
that section. On Forty-Mile creek
bones can be found projecting partly
from the sands and among the drift
wood along the stream. On creek
below this these skeletons are quite
numerous. One ivory tusk projects
nine feet out of sand bank, and is
larger around than a mans body.
A single tooth would be a good load
for strong man to carry. This
certainly would be great field for
the scientist, for, to all appearances
it is rich in Natures curiosities.

Chinese, Farmers and China Progress.
American Agriculturist for Dec.

American Agriculturist for Dec.
There are reasons to believe that
the trade of this country with China
will soon grow to majestic dimen-
sions. or the seven million five hun
dred thousand dollars of exports to
China in the last fiscal year, nearly
five million dollars worth was of
distinctively agricultural products,
and of their manufacture. The Chi
nese Commission in the United States
this year is charged especially with
the promotion of banks, telegraph
and telephone lines, behind which
looms up the extension of canals, the
introduction of railroads, of agricul-
tural machinery, and Of such of our
products as China needs, and she has
need of many. Her home products,
aside from tea, are wheat, millet, gar
den vegetables, rice, poor apples,
peaches, grapes, etc. The food Of
China is mostly vegetables and fish
the extensive sea coast, its rivers and
canals supplying the latter. Beef is
almost unknown, except in the for
eign settlements, land berries are rare;
mutton is plentiful f; pork, poultry
and eggs are abundant. Domestic
animals, except dogs, are not COM
mon. Horses are scarce, mules are
numerous, cattle in small numbers,
but 1ocks and herds are unknown.
The national habit is opposed to
change, and SO the nation of three
hundred million souls goes on in
the good old way" The United
States broke the spell of centuries in
Japan. 1t may yet do the same for
China. We go for trade and progress,
other nations for trade and conquest
and colonies, and the Chinese leaders
are beginning to understand this.
A modernized agriculture, and the
general introduction of railroad and
wagon service, would reiuveuate the
decaying "Flowery Land,'' which is
a bald misnomer for "A land destitute
of flowers and shrubs, treeless, and
with a dull heritage that contrasts
strongly with the culture that has
made the American continent to
"blossom like the rose" and to be
rich in various products that its en-
terprise bears to all parts of the CIV
ilized world.

It is a Necessity.

Rev. John A. Hall.
The newspaper is one of the fore
most wonders of the modern world.
The family that does not take, and
carefully read, at least one newspaper
is notifying in the nineteenth century.
A man who does not read a newspa-
per is placed at a painful disadvan-
tage in all conversation with intelli-
gent friends. A woman who does
not read a newspaper may be con-
demned to the disagreeable necessity
of always talking about her neigh
bors. A growing boy or girl who
does not read a newspaper will have
no just views of that great and Won
derful world in which they are to
take a place.
